APs in 6 GHz operating with LPI/VLP rules will have significantly lower
SNR values compared to 2.4/5 GHz band APs. Earlier, the estimated
throughputs were used for comparison only when the delta of SNRs between
both the APs was not greater than 7 and as a result for comparing 6 GHz
APs with 2.4/5 GHz APs, estimated throughputs were not getting used.
The estimated throughput calculations takes SNR value also into
consideration, hence remove RSSI delta check if any of the APs are from
the 6 GHz band. This change is limited to the 6 GHz band only in order
to avoid possible regressions with 2.4/5 GHz APs.

Add support to consider HE rates while estimating throughputs for the
scan results from HE enabled APs. HE 0.8 usec GI rates are used in all
tables. The minimum SNR values for HE rates (1024-QAM) are derived by
adding the existing minimum SNR values of 256-QAM rates from VHT tables
and the difference between the values of minimum sensitivity levels of
256-QAM rates and 1024-QAM rates defined in Table 27-51 (Receiver
minimum input level sensitivity) in IEEE P802.11ax/D8.0.

VHT 160 MHz mode are derived from minimum SNR values used for VHT 80 MHz
mode + 3 dBm. The min-SNR values are derived relatively based on the
information that the minimum sensitivity levels defined in Table 21-25

the 160 MHz mode are higher by 3 dBm compared to the values of the 80

Add initial_freq_list to wpa_supplicant configuration. This option
allows wpa_supplicant to scan a smaller list of frequencies when it

Make max_*_rate() functions and rate calculation at the beginning of
wpas_get_est_tpt() more continuous. In wpa_supplicant_need_to_roam(), we
compare these values to make a roaming decision. However, at certain
SNRs, we see unrealistically large jumps in estimated throughput
according to these functions, leading us to make incorrect roaming
decisions. Perform linear interpolation where applicable to more
accurately reflect actual throughput.
Example:
wlan0: Current BSS: 88:3d:24:b4:95:d2 freq=2412 level=-69 snr=20 est_throughput=54000
wlan0: Selected BSS: 88:3d:24:b4:89:9e freq=2417 level=-67 snr=22 est_throughput=63500
wlan0: Using signal poll values for the current BSS: level=-69 snr=20 est_throughput=54000
wlan0: Allow reassociation - selected BSS has better estimated throughput

Previously, the est_throughput comparison was done only when SNR
difference was less than 5 dB. Since the throughput estimation take into
account SNR, this can be done in more cases. For now, add a conservative
2 dB more to the difference so that any SNR difference below 7 dB
results in BSS selection based on throughput estimates.
In addition, the throughput estimates require SNR values to be
available, so separate this from the 5 GHz preference that can be done
based on either SNR or qual values.

This commit enhances the existing implementation of abort scan to also
abort concurrent active vendor scans. This is achieved by passing the
the scan_cookie to the driver interface with the intention to abort
the specific scan request. This scan_cookie is returned from the driver
interface when the scan request is scheduled.
This scan_cookie is 0 if the scan is triggered through the upstream
cfg80211 interface. Thus, the scan_cookie is used to determine whether
to abort the cfg80211 or vendor scan request.
Also, the previous implementation of relying on scan_work/p2p_scan_work
for the active work to trigger the abort scan is enhanced to check for
the started state of either of these work operations. This should also
help to abort the concurrent active scan/p2p-scan operations.
